1. More disturbing than interesting!

Yikes!

[WillParkinson]

2. One of the comments was exactly my thoughts...

Baby Hitler.

[Lithos]

5. I second that

Very disturbing... Definitely a case of Monkey See, Monkey Do which also doesn't speak well about this particular church.

3. Thanks, but nothing really new there...

Hugh Marjoe Ross Gortner, generally known as Marjoe Gortner...is a former revivalist who first gained a certain fame in the late 1940s and early to mid 1950s when he became the youngest ordained preacher at the age of four, and then outright notoriety in the 1970s when he starred in an Oscar-winning, behind-the-scenes documentary about the lucrative business of Pentecostal preaching...

When Marjoe was three, his father, a third generation minister, noticed his son's talent for mimicry...

As well as teaching him scriptural passages, Marjoe's parents also taught him several money-making tactics, involving the sale of supposedly "holy" articles at revivals which promised to heal the sick and dying.

By the time Marjoe was sixteen, he later estimated, his family had amassed maybe three million dollars; shortly after his sixteenth birthday, Marjoe's father absconded with the money...

He gets bonus points for this acting job, though...

...appeared on Falcon Crest as corrupt psychic-medium "Vince Karlotti" (1986-87)...

I liked the comments on that clip, especially this one:

In other news, Canada and Mexico agree upon the Trans-Continental Parallel Containment Walls.

He's probably been taken there daily since birth. Scary stuff.

9. That kid is going to be totally obnoxious by the time he's in kindergarten.

Male child who can do no wrong...ugh.

I've got a niece that's being brainwashed. Seven yrs old, she pulled one of her own teeth...it was fine, "because the Lord was with me." :eyes:
It's like watching a trained seal.

11. That was so weird.

I mean, I guess I see where people egging the baby on was cute/funny, just like when any baby performs for an adoring crowd (doing a "peek-a-boo" magic trick or a lyrical tour de force rendition of something from The Wiggles), but it was kind of intense and "shouty." I wonder if he didn't make about as much sense as can be made in that particular vein.
